4:10's and FI will be alot of gear if he plans on doing FI later down the road.

From experience, if i could start all over again i would forge my motor then add FI. And for less than 7K you can have both. MMR and Haney Motorsports both have forged bottom ends for 3K then that leaves you 4K on FI. There is a sticky on here where you can peice your own supercharger together for less than 1500 dollars but it typically runs people 2-3K, this doesnt includes fuel upgrades, tune, etc... Leaving you $1000 dollars left to buy misc parts that you need. Or you can go single turbo for 3K also, and it can yeild you close to 750 rwhp. But with FI if you do alot of power you will need to upgrade your rear end and transmission. Bolt ons do work well on a mach but it will only take you so far. I regret doing bolt ons every time i drive my car because i know that i built my car WRONG. With the amount of money that i have spent i should have gone forged and then FI. Good Luck

good advice from everyone thank you.. i really do want f.i. mainly because i care more about the mph then the 1/4 time. i guess what im saying is i want the car to pull harder.. not necessarily just trying to run a faster time due to more set up for launch. im not buying direct from ati. im going through a dealer.. the part that kills me is the exchange and the taxes at the boarder. its makes a 4500 kit 2000 more. none the less thanks for the advice. def gunna look into what pple said. also.. i dont hae it in my sig but i have slp long tubes, catted x, n slp lm1 catback. a k&n filtpk. mgw shifter, 315's on the back, that being said is gears, tune, intake spacer the only mods that will make my car quicker thats worth getting?
